Highlight Clip

This past winter started of with our round trip around Europe, visiting favorite couples, our new friends.

Our trip to Amsterdam. Days to remember. Invited by our Cats for the official infamous arChive album presentation ritual. We shared time and most of all emotions. The wedding, now a warm and sweet memory. We were there to revive all the important, the unseen and the forgotten. Their reactions moved us, as they discovered them selves through our images. Right there and then, we decided this was not going to end here. So we let our imagination race to the next connecting point, already starting to observe and capture precious moments of their everyday life. This is because a wedding should not last a day, but a lifetime. Suddenly Amsterdam became our scenery, the perfect backdrop for a new twist of the plot.

Wedding Cinematography’s way of cheating

As in our wedding photography, so is our wedding cinematography, guided from our passion to interpret moments in a unique way, and reveal connections unseen . We do not direct life, but we discover the story behind the story, there, waiting to be told. And there’s always more, as long as your heart remains open, to feel and to embrace. For our Cats, it was all about the fun, the joy, the laughters and the romance, that filled their wedding days in Symi. It is all about the Love that fills their life in Amsterdam. In everything they do and share.

So… Watch and enjoy our cinematic glimpse, become an everyday fairytale. As is your own. The one you hold precious.

Destination wedding photography by rChive

Mid August. High season for a wedding photographer! Approaching the port of Symi, we had the overwhelming feeling of entering a perfectly painted image of a scenic traditional village. We have to admit we remained agape throughout our stay, unable to resist the superb spectacle of the town stretching its impeccable architecture, where all of the buildings were listed on the slopes of the surrounding hills. The port of Symi looked like it might have been photoshoped, the colours that surrounded us a breathtaking sight. Last but not least… No words could describe the beauty of the sea that surrounds the Island where the horizon unfolds until the shores of Turkey.

And yes, there was something definitely going on there… This was the Cats’ Wedding!

What a funkier way to start a wedding than a daily boat cruise around the island. It was an amazing group, there were drinks, good food music and a whole lot of shaking going on… everyone had a ball! Capturing the spirit of the day, we photographed performing acrobatics, on board, underwater and in the air!

On the day itself, our Cats from Amsterdam, started the day in separate houses, as is traditional. The groom and his men prepared themselves in Pedi, and our bride and her party prepared up in the Horio, the higher village. At a set point in the afternoon Yianna left the house in a beautiful flowing white gown created by Maria Konidi.

She boarded a specially decorated boat, a caique, a traditional sponge diving boat, to meet Yannis at the church in Pedi led by musicians. The groom was also accompanied by musicians, a slow walk to the church. Of course there was a lot of “penemata” fοr both… A traditional ritual loyally kept by Yiayia Varvara, the favored Persona Grata of the event.

A beautiful ceremony took place, where they exchanged their own personal vows before their families and loved ones.

The reception (more a party to remember) was held at Pedi beach hotel overlooking the harbour with its twinkling lights, and the boats coming in and out… Cannot reveal more as we promise to surprise you with images when the time comes<

Sounds perfect to you? It was for them, and also for us, beautiful images, precious moments, inevitable memories made from the Cats’ wedding, in Simi.

And as we are no ordinary wedding photographers… these are no ordinary cats!

So happy to be part of this wedding, to have felt, to have shared to have captured. We thank you for the fun and the trust. We thank you for sharing genuine smiles, but even more we thank you for the sincere friendship. Our wishes will always be with you.

With love

Angela & George

And so the story begins… for Vassiliki & Terry… Who tasted flight (may we be permitted to rephrase Leonardo da Vinci) and will forever walk the earth with their eyes turned skyward, for there they have been and there they will always long to return.

Their wedding took place in Chryssopigi church in Sifnos with their beloved family and friends. The party yet another flight lasted all nigh at Cafe Folie!

We were honoured with their trust (it took us only one phone call) to share and capture this beautiful wedding. Knowing them has been a privilege. Our wishes along the wedding photos we captured will always be with them.

Kostas & Irini, Alsos Nymfon | Wedding Video Athens

Yes no yes no yes no? Red blue? Yes red, no blue? No red, yes no? In out, up down? Do don’t, can can’t?

Choices… so many…

For the few who know how to dream this is

“Once in a Blue Moon, when someone comes along who can teach you the words to a new song,

show you it’s possible, to sing along, even when you can’t carry a tune.

But this only happens, once in a blue moon.

So, tonight when I look up into that sky,

see that full blue moon floating on high,

I’ll be thinking how lucky am I,

to have found you not a second too soon?

We’ll be dancing to a new tune,

down here under the blue moon.”

So happy to be part of this wedding, to have felt, to have shared to have captured. We thank you for the generosity and the trust. We thank you for the genuine smiles and concern but even more we thank you for the sincere friendship. Our wishes will always be with you.
